Got my first ski today

I finally found the ski i wanted . I was looking around craigslist and ebay and i just pulled a trigger today and got a 55h all freshwater use , 2003 fx140 for 3k . I checked the compression and it was 180 in all the cylinders , i haven't had a chance to test it in the water so i took a bit of risk but i will test it out this weekend .

Congrats. Nice find. I'd get one if I could find it that cheap.

Re: Got my first ski today

Were you wearing a ski mask when you picked it up???? Nice looking ski, I just bought my first ski too about two weeks ago, a 2004 FXHO Cruiser but I think I paid too much. Oh well, you got a great deal bro, enjoy that thing!
